Martin's released his testing version, labelled Optool 2.1 RC 1. He says that some of his old testers are no longer available, so he wouldn't mind a bunch of new ones. I figure he's most likely to get them from amongst Opera users. Interested parties, have a look at the Optool 2 page. I'll post the e-mail he sent out/screenshots if he says it's okay. At the moment he's asked me not to make it publicly available, but I will say it's as good as ever and has very cool new features/settings.
I never realised, but he credits me as a tester at the bottom of his pages, when you hover over "I wish to thank the beta testers..."
I'm thinking of offering him space in my forum (I'll probably ditch the old one and do a proper install of a new one) so he can use it for support/feature requests, rather than people sending him e-mails. We'll see. It's just that Opera would never give him forum space - as I'm sure they would never give space to the Search.ini editor.
In case you don't know what Optool is:
Optool (formerly Operatool, now Optional Browser tool or Open-in-another-browser-tool - or whatever you like!) for MS Windows is a freeware utility which easily allows you to open a given web site in another browser. Use it if your preferred browser doesn't show the site properly or if you are a developer and want to check the page in several browsers without the hassle of cutting and pasting the URL.
Basically a must-have for every Opera user. Especially for those who can't be sure whether the problems they're having are due to Opera or due to the site (or both).
